2009 Honda Accord Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by pressoranks

Reliability & durability

Proven track record. Have owned other accords

Handling

Feeling of confidence in that the car will do exactly as asked. Road feel

Fuel economy

Car never feels underpowered - in fact will kick from a green light with the best out there, yet return 30 mpg average. Can drive all day for $20

Powertrain performance

Responsive trottle. Engine runs willingly up to the redline. Slickest shifter on the planet in a 5 speed manual. (I test drove others). My daughter commented that she cant feel when I shift. I like the way the gear shifter clicks into gear as if sucked in

Driving position & visibility

No apparent blind spots. Always have a sense of awareness of everyone around - a relaxed driving position is easy to obtain. Can cruise all day without getting tired in the shoulders and arms.

Exterior styling

Too many creases. Rearend looks like it has a tacked on baseball cap turned backwards. From the front however, killer looks.

Audio & nav systems

Bass too boomy, not deep and rounded. Not easy or maybe impossible to replace the stock unit. May try replacing the deck speakers. Nav - I dont know, dont have one, my Invion works fine.
